概要 | The amount of information created by end-users has become massive; it is often referred to as an ‘information explosion’, and social media is a typical tool for gathering that information. We gathered and analyzed tweets related to automobiles in Japan from June 2018 to May 2020, attempting to create a formula to forecast future automobile sales through content posted on Twitter. We found that forecasting the sale of automobiles is possible when the number of tweets for a model is large, which indicates that social media can be beneficial as alternative data to forecast product sales. Although we could successfully make a sales forecast on certain models with a large number of tweets, all the models were not possible to forecast. However, we propose a hypothesis that forecasting sales using Twitter is possible only after a product enters the so-called ‘cash cow’ phase under the Product Portfolio Matrix developed by Boston Consulting Group, which creates business strategy using market growth rates and relative markets. |
